Native plants provide essential food and habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. They’re well-adapted to our local climate, making them a low-maintenance choice for your yard. Fall is an ideal time to plant trees and shrubs, as it allows roots to establish before the harsh winter weather sets in. Each plant is available in either a 1-gallon or 5-gallon container, depending on the species, making them easy to transport and plant.

Pre-order your native trees and shrubs today and help create a healthy habitat for local wildlife!
